File sharing for business

Improve security with file sharing for business technology.

The right solution for file sharing for business can have a significant impact on productivity and security.

As the average size of presentations, images and videos continues to grow, sending these documents via email places a lot of strain on servers.

For this reason, IT administrators often restrict business file sharing by placing strict limits on the file sizes of attachments to email. Seeking the easiest way to transmit large files, employees frequently choose third-party, consumer-grade file sharing services that lack appropriate security and content controls. Consequently, sharing files through these services puts your data, users and the organization at much greater risk.

A file sharing for business service from Mimecast.

Mimecast offers a cloud-based email solution that provides tools for managing email security, archiving and continuity more easily. Mimecast's all-in-one subscription service helps to reduce cost, minimize risk and eliminate the complexity of managing business email.

Mimecast Large File Send, part of Mimecast's email security services, simplifies file sharing for business by letting employees send files up to 2 GB in size directly from their Outlook for Windows or from a native Mimecast Mac app. With Mimecast file sharing for business, a big file send is as easy as attaching files and pressing Send.

When attachments exceed a certain size, Mimecast uploads both the message and attachments to the secure Mimecast cloud, reducing strain on email servers. Before being stored in an AES encrypted archive, messages and attachments are scanned for viruses and checked against content control and data leak prevention policies.
